Magnificently designed and illustrated, the book captures in 160 full-color photographs the extraordinarily complicated and intricate work performed by Maryland women in the first half of the nineteenth century and places their wonderful art in historical context.Davis, Nancy is the author of 'The Baltimore Album Quilt Tradition - Nancy E.
